Nestled in Lodi, California, this Zinfandel benefits from warm days and cool Delta breezes — ideal conditions that help the grapes ripen fully while retaining vibrant acidity. On the nose and palate, you can expect bold flavors of ripe black cherry and blackberry, layered with spicy pepper, a hint of leather or tobacco. It’s medium-to-full bodied, dry, and structured, with plush tannins that give it depth without overwhelming its fruit. This wine pairs beautifully with barbecue ribs, peppered sausage, and tomato-based pasta dishes.
